"Hip to Be Square" is a song by Huey Lewis & The News from their 1986 album, Fore!
Bert performed the song in the 1987 Sesame Street Live show Big Bird and the ABCs, and in the 2010 Sesame Place stage show, Elmo Rocks!
The song was parodied on Sesame Street with an animated song, "It's Hip to Be a Square."
In a Baby Talk sketch, when Baby Natasha's guest, a square, comes onstage, her house band plays a short riff based on "Hip to Be Square."
